You, sir, are correct.

Not yet.

Nope.
On 1999/02/03, a seemingly innocuous change was made to the set of
header files used to compile the Text Manager code, and this resulted
in Text Mgr routines calling other Text Manager routines through the
IntlDispatch trap (A2AB), versus direct calls. So now, even when the
Text Manager code is being compiled for PalmOSGlue.lib, the following
routines will (potentially) try to call the unimplemented A2AB trap
on pre-3.1 ROMs:
TxtGlueReplaceStr
TxtGlueParamString
TxtGlueStrEncoding
TxtGluePrepFindString
I'll see what I can do about getting a fixed version of PalmOSGlue
posted to the developer web site asap.
Thanks for the report...
